Printing Chinese Characters on Labels using ZEBRA

Dear all,
Could someone tell me how to Print Chinese characters on labels using ZEBRA Printer.
Thanks & Regards,
Joseph.

Hi Joseph,
How were u able to resolve your issue on Chinese font printing using Zebra? This is because I'm supposed to print Chinese texts & data using Zebra label printer. The problem is, inspite of using the Chinese font residing in the printer's memory card, i am not getting any output whenever i run a standard SAP report (VL74) calling a customized saprscipt report. Please help check my codes below. Also, I'm not sure of the command ^A1B, if it is still needed everytime i try to print a text, since i already used the command ^CW1,B:MSUNG.FNT.
I placed them in the Main area of Sapscript. Thanks in advance.

Unable to print chinese characters in Smartforms use Zebra printer

Hi,all.
My printer is Zebra ZM400 300dpi,I created a new output device 'TestDevice' and use the Lzeb3 Device type.
In my smartofrms i used the Zebra command to rotated text.Now the smartforms counld not print chinese characters but '#' instead.(style font 'ANDALE_S')
Anyone could help me....
Thanks Advance.
Andy Lee.

Hello Andy,
If you use the device type LZEBU3 with font ANDALE_S, then when you print then the SAP system
send a print control for activating the ANDALE font installed on the printer, and the text should
be outputed over this font.
When you get # during print then this means that the device type or the SAP font don't support
this character(this was the original problem), when you get a "space" then this means that the
font which is used by the printer don't support this character.
I think this can have 2 causes in your case:
1. The SAP system use the print control SF000 when you use ANDALE_S, which contains
the print control ^CI17^F8 in HEX form. This should activate the ANDALE font on your printer.
(You can find this under tr. SE73 -> Printer Fonts -> LZEBU3 -> ANDALE_S)
You should check wheter this is the correct print control. You should find on the printer an option
which list you all installed fonts, and also the print control which can be used for activating it.
Compare this print control from the printer with the above print control from the SAP system.
If you see a differnce then change the print control in the SAP system.(Before you do that please
copy the device type LZEBU3 into customer namespace, don't change the original SAP device type)
2. The font installed on the printer don't support the character which you use. Contact Zebra to confirm this, and ask for a ANDALE font which supports the character.
Best regards,
Norbert

Printing Chinese Characters in Smart Forms

Hi,
Iu2019m trying to print Chinese characters via smart forms. However during print preview or print, all Chinese characters are showing as # symbols.
I have researched and implemented for some possible solutions posted in the forum like:
a.) Setting the regional language control panel.
b.) Activating the multi-byte function in I18N.
c.) Checked the output device is SWINCF.
d.) Control parameter language is ZH (Chinese).
Unfortunately it still doesnu2019t solve the problem. Any input is highly appreciated.
With regards,
Marc

Remark following basics:
Forms:
Language of the form must be: "ZH".
Due to a SAPNOTE only font family CN* (CNSONG etc.) is mapped.
For frontend print, you must install chinese true type on you local PC and print via "CNSAPWIN" .
For backend print, you must install neccesaary fonts in your printer to the resident fonts. You must use a printer like "CNHPL4" or so.
For PDF archiving, you must upload truetype fonts to application server -> basis guys.
Cascading Fonts:
If you mix different subfonts to unicode areas, you must use CNSAPWINCF.
Until now, only frontend printing is available.
Note:
Spool created for back end print with print preview is only a simulation of getting a picture of the output created with front end technology. So it can differ, when the printer does not have the resident fonts.
Regards,
Christian

Unable to print chinese characters

Hello experts,
A script is triggered when i run the transaction FBL5N and a form is printed.
The issue is, i am unable to see the chinese text in the preview as well as print.
The chinese characters appers as ###, check boxesor some other symbols.
Tried chaging the priner settings also(ouput device and device type)
Tried changign the font family aslo.(CNKAI and CNHEI)
The functional consultant says using the existing priner settings they are able to print chinese characters through some other transactions like VF03
Waiting for positive responses.
Regards
Akmal

See [note 302228 - NLS trouble shooting: printing (collective note)|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/302228]: Characters on printout printed as nothing, #, ?, ., box, other character. It contains a detailed procedure how to analyze and solve. See also note 753381 which contains a Word document (attachment) with a more detailed classification of character damage.
By the way, do you log in SAP in Chinese, do you have a Unicode system, do you use frontend printing, does your computer have Asian support installed, is the font installed on your computer?

PO Print Output- Doesn't print Chinese characters

Hi,
There is customized t-code ZME9F similar to ME9F with an added feature of e-mail to vendor.
When we process PO through ZME9F, the PO converted to PDF is not printing the chinese characters.when 'Display message' is clicked also it is fine.The print preview of the PO is fine.
Can you please let me know what is the reason for not printing chinese characters in the conversion of PDF?
Thanks in Advance,
Sowmya

Hi Soumya,
Please check note 903157.

Printing chinese characters in a zebra printer using SAP Interactive Forms

Hello,
We have created an Adobe Interactive Forms in SAP with transaction SFP. In this form we have used some words in English and another ones using Simplified Chinese characters . We have defined a Zebra printer in SPAD transaction using Device Type AZPL203.
We have defined an ABAP program to printout this form. When we print it in the zebra printer some of the chinese characters are printed and some of them no.
Has anyone faced the same problem?
Please if this is not the right forum, please could you adress me to the right one?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
However, this is not the right forum for you. It is only for SAP Business One user. Please search entire forums first to find which one is more proper.
However, this issue may not be related to SAP at all. Search on the web would be better.

Printing Chinese characters

Hello all,
I have been wriiten a program that prints styled Chinese characters,
using TextLayout class. The strokes are incorrect, some shorter, some longer.
The TextLayout firstly layout the text and attributes with specified width
and height (in case word wrapping is needed), then when printing , the Graphics
object pass into the textLayout.draw method to print the text. I found that
there is no problem when rendering on screen, and also print using drawString
method. Is anyone know how to solve this problem? thanks in advance. Here is
the standalone testing program.

Issue with printing chinese characters

Hello All,
When our users try to print an order, two specfic chinese characters ( in Taiwan version) are getting printed as #. In the spool display the chatacter is appearing correctly, but when getting printed actually , it is coming as #.
踪
珉
The same character is getting printed from all microsoft office tools, the problem is only from SAP ( 4.7)
Tried on several models( HPLaserJet Q6511Q, HPLaserJet Q7551Q, dot matrix printer EPSON LQ-2180C) with frontend printing , device type is TWSAPWIN
Any pointers , please let me know
Thanks
Arun

Could you please let me know what is the solution..even we are having similar issue currently

Why a " # " is coming while printing chinese characters from SAP script?

Hi All,
Facing one issue.
We have a SAP script for printing delivery note thru T-code VL03N. The script has chinese characters in it.
When I print this form the chinese characters that are hardcoded in the script can be seen in the print out but the ones which are coming from the table cannot be seen instead they are repalced by " # ".
Strangely, when a debug the script or see a print preview on the screen they can be seen as it is with no problem.
Only when I print it, on the paper print they are seen as # but the characters that are hardcoded in the script can be seen clearly on paper.
Secondly, in Transaction FB03 which is for display of list of documents it too has some chinese characters and when I print this directly from the t-code doing Shift-F1 ( no SAP script or form is involved in this case) then the same case is there the chinese characters get replaced by a " # ".
Any inputs or views are welcome.
Please suggest.
Thanks.
Cordially,
Saurabh.

Hi,
You need to set your activate multibyte functions to support.
Long on to SAP --->right side right corner (Customized local layout) --> click --->Select options --->select tab (l18N)
-->Check Activate multibyefunctions to support.
log off you SAP Gui then re-log in...you can able to view multi language characters.
Thanks,

Problem in printing Chinese characters by using JavaPrintService

Hi, I just develop a tool to print txt files by using Java Print Service.
Everything seems to be good, but when the file contains Chinese character, it can't be print correctly.
I tried to use the DocFlavor.Reader and DocFlavor.STRING, however all of them are failed.
My code is below, please help me, thanks so much
PrintRequestAttributeSet pars = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
// TODO:Printing is not correct because of the Chinese Encoding
DocFlavor flavor = new DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM("text/plain;charset=UTF-8");//DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
PrintService defaultService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
if(defaultService != null){
Iterator<String> it = filename.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()){
shortname = it.next().toString();
abstractPath = GlobalVar.SRC_DIRECTORY_PATH + shortname;
File file = new File(abstractPath);
if(file.exists()){
try{
DocPrintJob job = defaultService.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
//BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fis,"UTF-8"));
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis,flavor,das);
job.print(doc, pars);
}catch(PrintException ex){
Log.doLog("Print failed\t" + shortname, Log.ERROR);
System.out.println(ex.fillInStackTrace());
}else{
Log.doLog("File can't be found: "+abstractPath, Log.ERROR);
}else{
Log.doLog("Can't find printer", Log.ERROR);
}

Everything seems to be good, but when the file contains Chinese character, it can't be print correctly.And how exactly did you determine that the character set in that file is UTF8?
